Land Remediation Relief

At LJS Accounting Services, we empower businesses by providing support for Land Remediation Relief.

What Is Land Remediation Relief?

Land Remediation Relief, also known as Contaminated Land Tax Relief, was introduced by the UK government to encourage the clean up and redevelopment of land that has been affected by contamination. It supports businesses investing in regeneration projects by offering generous Corporation Tax relief. Companies can claim a 100 percent deduction plus an extra 50 percent, reducing taxable profits by 150 percent of qualifying costs.

This relief was designed to promote redevelopment, protect the environment and make previously unusable land viable again for commercial use. If you think your project may qualify or need help making a claim, our team can guide you through the rules and ensure you receive the full relief available.

Conditions to Meet

Certain conditions must be met to be eligible to make a Land Remediation Tax Relief claim:

The land must be in the UK

The land must either be contaminated or derelict

The company claiming must have a freehold or lease of at least seven years

Any contamination must not be caused by the company putting in the claim

A common misconception is that Land Remediation Relief is restricted to land cleanup alone, which is incorrect.

Qualifying Land Remediation Expenditure

Qualifying Land Remediation Expenditure covers a range of costs directly linked to cleaning and restoring contaminated land. This can include removing affected soil, water or structures, assessing the level of contamination, and paying wages for the remediation work. It also extends to the installation of new systems and the materials needed to complete the project. Our team can help you identify all eligible costs to make sure your claim is accurate and complete.
